SUSPIRIA,INFERNO or MOTHER OF TEARS??


Which one if the best??

I think that INFERNO is more uneven than SUSPIRIA but INFERNO is more fascinating and crazy than SUSPIRIA!

I can't wait to see MOTHER OF TEARS/LA TERZA MADRE...the early word of mouth from the screenings of last month are rather positive,even if the film seems quite different from SUSPIRIA and INFERNO.

My ratings would be:
Suspiria 10/10
Inferno 7/10
Mother of Tears 7/10

Edit: Having watched all three again this week I've changed my opinion about Inferno, it was better second time around, whereas MoT has decreased slightly.

Disagree, while Inferno is a very entertaining and well made movie, Suspiria is levels above it.

Suspiria is my favorite (sorry to jump on the bandwagon) because it's the one that inspired me the most. It's cinematic and the most interesting, the design of the setting, the lighting is a big thing for me, and overall it felt the tightest despite the fact it does have its ridiculously out of place moments. It's not the best of stories, but it makes up for that with all those elements and more.

Inferno wasn't terrible, I liked it, but it was just too disjointed and overall it just didn't impact me like Suspiria. I loved the lighting and set design, once again, and I liked the mother and her skeleton form, I even liked the ideas the film presented, but nothing really affected me beyond that. It was a good watch, but I don't feel it's as memorable by any stretch. Not bad, but a step down from Suspiria.

I hate Mother of Tears. That is all. I really can't express the anger that washes over me when I think of that film.

I just realized Shaft Juice sounds like semen.

1.)Suspiria 10/10

1. Suspiria

3. Mother of Tears


I'd be interested in seeing Inferno get a great 4K release to see if it could pry first place. It has a chance but may not make it due to the OST which is great but falls short of one of the greatest the genre has seen in Goblins work on Suspiria.

Mother of Tears will always be last place. It's a bit of dumb fun and I do quite like it but it's leagues below the other two.
